   NOTE: It is recommended to install the latest patches and 
         Service Packs from Microsoft's Windows Update Web Site:
         http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.

        - Windows 98
        - Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)

3. Installation Instructions

   Refer to the User's Guide for more detailed instructions. 

   3.1. Installing the Duralink64 Driver During a Fresh 
        Installation of Windows NT/2000/XP

        *NOTE* Do not have an Adaptec ANA-6xxxxLV board present in
        a system when doing a fresh installation of Windows XP. 
        This is due to the fact that the embedded Adaptec NIC
        driver only supports the older boards and not the newer LV
        series. It will attempt to detect it and lock the 
        installation.  Insert the LV NIC after the operating 
        system installation.

   3.2. Driver Paths for Each Operating System

        - To install Windows XP drivers, use path d:\Win2000
        - To install Windows 2000 drivers, use path d:\Win2000
        - To install Windows NT 4.0 drivers, use path d:\
        - To install Windows Me, use path d:\ME
        - To install Windows 98/98 SE, use path d:\

        (Where d:\ is the path of the CDROM drive.)

   Note: In Windows 2000, adding new DuraLAN NIC(s) to a system
         that has DuraLAN NIC(s) installed previously, we strongly 
         recommend that users follow the steps below.
         
         (a). Upgrade all existing DuraLAN NIC(s) to Duralink64 v5.2
              drivers.
         (b). Shut down the system and plug in new NIC(s).
         (c). Boot up the system.
         (d). Provide drivers CD if prompted.

         Then the newly added NIC(s) will be installed properly
         with Duralink64 v5.2 Drivers.


4. Additional Notes

   The following is a list of FYIs related to the software and 
   hardware of the DuraLAN Network Adapters:

   4.1. Known/Unresolved or FYI Issues

        * Drivers for Windows 98/98SE/Me are supported in 
          Standalone (SA) mode only.

        * Hotplug features are supported in Windows 2000/XP only.

        * Windows 2000 drivers support LME/PAE (Large Memory 
          Enable / Physical Address Extension) to support memory
          above 4GB.

        * In Windows 2000/XP, to find out which
          port is the primary port as per Group, do the following:
            a. Open the Duralink64 GUI
            b. Click Status tag
            c. Select the appropriate group
          The primary port will have a [P] next to it. Please be
          aware that all network settings will be taken from this
          port.

          To configure the primary port in Windows 2000/XP, look at
          the Port Name and take note of the LAC (usually Local
          Area Connection X, where X is a number). Open the Network
          and Dial-up Connections icon within Control Panel and
          configure the appropriate network settings for that LAC.

        * Use the Adaptec Duralink64 GUI to check the status of 
          all ports. The "Network and Dial-up Connections" window
          sometimes shows incorrect status.
